HANOVER When Peter Roby agreed to return to his alma mater to lead its athletic department, one of the first calls he received was from a former Ivy League basketball rival.
Paul Cormier had two stints coaching the Dartmouth College men’s hoop program, the first of which brought twice-a-year matchups against Harvard teams Roby led. Cormier owned the upper hand back then, winning eight of 12 encounters before both men moved on from their respective sidelines in the early 1990s. They’ve remained friends since, while Cormier worked college and NBA jobs as Roby advanced in college sports administration.

Hanlon’s tenure marked by failure, fiasco
On Jan. 29, I read Dartmouth College President Phil Hanlon’s letter regarding the reinstatement of five varsity athletic teams. He called out the director of athletics by name, saying “Harry Sheehy and his team established a series of factors and considerations to be used in their assessment,” and went on to say, cryptically, that “elements of the data that Athletics used to confirm continued Title IX compliance may not have been complete.” It was clear that Sheehy was being offered up as the fall guy and, not surprisingly, Sheehy announced his retirement on Tuesday.
